Glory in the Manger

Like anything that involves a baby, the focus here isn’t the angels, the shepherds, or even Mary and Joseph. All our attention should be on this baby. “And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child.” (Luke 2:16–17) In this series on the birth of Jesus, Steve DeWitt teaches us to see the Glory of God in the Manger.

Help Support The Journey

Our resource this month is In the Manger by Max Lucado.

Though the bright lights of Christmas glitter briefly, the message of the season lasts forever--the Word becomes flesh, and the Creator becomes the creation. Join pastor and New York Times bestselling author Max Lucado as he invites you to bear witness to the birth of Christ as you've never seen it before.

Advent is a season of anticipation, a celebration of the moment that God came near.

Let In the Manger guide you through each of the 25 days of Advent with:

  • A Bible verse to deeply reflect on

  • An inspirational passage from some of Max's most popular books, including 3:16, God Came Near, The Applause of Heaven and more

  • A prayer to help you apply the day's message

Join Mary and Joseph inside a stable, beside a shepherd, and at the feet of the King in the manger as you celebrate the greatest gift of all.

We want to send you In the Manger as our way of saying “Thank you!” for your financial support during this series.
